We are in Perth, Western Australia. We were contacted today by a Mary Jay (maryjay57@yahoo.com), who said she was in Queensland and wanted to order 350 bottles/jars of hand lotions and creams. She phoned and faxed, speaking poor English and said we would be contacted about the shipping through Faith Cargo Shipping (in Ghana, of course). The email from Faith Cargo (faithcargoshippers0@cooltoad.com) asked for $3200 shipping to be sent by Western Union to Ghana. Right. We of course, quoted her from Australia Post, which would only charge $1200, saving her over $2000. Additionally, the owner of this company is South African, but when I told Mary by email that she was South African and could speak Afrikaans, I heard nothing more from her. Additionally, the letter from the shipper was signed Chris Lee (same name on the other scams). The shipping for the "SOS Childcare's Village Association South Africa" (the so-called orphanage) was to a post box in Johannesburg. Ridiculous. Surely no one has fallen for this.

Hello Jo, Thank you very much for your concern about my order and I will like to used the faith Cargo Shippers as the wish of the organization.. So kindly add the shipping cost to the total price of the cream and let me know the full amount and e-mail me that and I will provide you my master card for the payment.. Am not African. Am half American and also half from Japan. I will like you to add the cost of the faith cargo shippers to the cream and I will go on with payment. Looking forward to hear from you soon. Stay bless

Thank You Mary

Then she phoned at 8:30, saying she got my email about "saving her $2000" but would like to proceed with Faith Cargo. Playing along with her, I explained that anyone who would pay that much was being robbed. She said (in her broken English) that she would like to go ahead because of the wish of the "organization." I told her that I couldn't understand that (of course, I could), and that if she wanted to overpay the shipper she should do that herself. She said the shippers required to be paid by the place they pick up, not her. I told her that shippers the world over (and anyone else, for that matter) don't care WHO pays them, as long as they get paid, and she should do that herself. She then changed tack and said she had better find someone else to buy this product from who would be more cooperative. I agreed. End of saga... but not the end of others being scammed by this absurd process. Who in the ding dong would ever be stupid enough to pay shippers $3200 before they even show up here in Perth, paying them in Ghana??? She also said she was not African, but half American and half Japanese... a fine product of those two cultures (I am American and embarrassed by any such claims). Hopefully, their labors will not produce any fruit from anyone crazy enough to be taken in by it.

But is it worth playing along with idiot criminals, who can't even spell? I love the one from the Reverend "Brain" Moore. More like "no-brain" Moore....JoPS... Just joking over a serious breach of faith in my fellow human beings.

Hi I have just been contacted by the Mary Jay also.for 300 body creams & Oils seems like the same tactic

Her message:Hello, Thank you very much for submitting the quote to me I want you to know that is the correct price and information i needed and i want you to know I am sending this order to an orphans home in South Africa so I want to recommend you to a shipping that will come to your location and pick this up and then send it to the orphans in South Africa I want you to contact this shipping company with your location address and then the total Quantities and types of the products along with the orphans home address below.

She called me... I asked where she lived ....In Queensland.... Yeah where abouts... she didn't reply....I said have you even tried my products, yes from a friend, she said. . I am in Qld, can't you come in to discuss this. She said no I am very busy organising all the charity work we do...LOL..

Con artists wasting honest peoples time. I'm going to get back to my work. but just wanted to add to this list of victims.

Thank you very much for the time and patient you had with me regarding this order and your patient is highly appreciated .However i will like to recommend you to a freight company that i want to use for the pickup of the order I don't want you to ship the order for me ,so below is their contact details just contact them now and get back to me with what they emailed you with and i mean the shipping quote .You have to put an attention on the subject as (shipping Quote needed) with that they will get back to you urgently so i will be waiting for your email after you hear back from them.

I too have be had by this Mary from Qld emailing me first to order massage oils and nutrition supplements.I had processed the credit card number she gave me and within 10mins my banker from the fraud department told me that this transaction was a hoax and he had put a stop to the process. I am disgusted how these types of people can consciously rip you off.

Here are the lies:

One of my staff charged a card from Mary Jay and when i found out about it i asked Mary to fill in our authorization form and to send through a copy of the front and back of the card. I also told Mary that NO products or shipping money would be going any where until i received the above information. She of course tried to tell me it wasn't a scam and after many phones to me she finally decided to send through the requested information. However the credit card didn't have a signature on it and she said she will send through another copy tomorrow.

I have spoken with Master Card and HSBC/Midland Bank and they have confirmed it's a scam and are setting the dogs onto them.

Anyone who gets card information should contact visa, master card etc and the bank issuer. The card details we got are meant to be from a member of HSBC but it's actually from a Military Bank in the US and HSBC don't have that number with them. The number for Master Card is 1800 120 133. I want to see these nasty pieces of work go down, what a great Christmas Present that would be

Juts got into this too. Client's name is Williams Lourd and he says it's for ST KIZITO OF ROMAN CHURCH. The shipping company is now Eastway Ship with contacts there named Mr Piter Pipe & Mr. Brown Lee.

I'm lucky that I found your site as we were about to do business with these Guys. What saved me is that I entered the Address into Google and came across this site.

There must be something we can do about this. Is there no law agency that would handle this?

you can find a list of places to report these scams to. The sad thing is that they can take your report but there is no way to really "stop" the scammers. Since they are in another country, it would have to be THAT country's government and law enforcement that would have to step up and do something.

Education is the key, so the best thing to do is to support sites like this. Spread the word . . . tell everyone you know . . . if you would like a ScamVictimsUnited.com window cling for your car send me a private message and I will send one to you (that way every place you drive to, you will be spreading the word) You can also donate to sites like ours so that we can do more towards educating people by doing things like putting together a public service announcement. http://www.scamvictimsunited.com/donations.htm

UPDATE ON THIS SCAM. I JUST GOT AN EMAIL TODAY FROM A JIMMY JONES AT JIMMY'S ORGANAGE IN SOUTH AFRICA AT THIS SAME ADDRESS THAT YOU ALL ARE STATING. HE IS NOW SAYING HE IS WANTING TO PURCHASE 20 WHEELCHAIRS AND GIVES CONTACT INFORMATION FOR SHIPPING COMPANY (GEM SHIPPING COMPANY). THANKS FOR POSTING THIS SCAM. WHEN I GOT THE EMAIL I WAS PRETTY SURE SOMETHING WAS UP SO I PUT IN THE ADDRESS THAT HE GAVE AND IT BROUGHT THIS SITE UP. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE INFORMATION.
